Abstract

Primary synovial sarcoma of the kidney is rare and difficult to diagnose with 100% accuracy without the use of up-to-date histopathologic methods. Immunohistochemical procedures are well established and are continuously expanding and improving. Currently, these methods are successful in up to 90% of tumor identification. The remaining cases will ultimately benefit by combining immunohistochemistry with tumor-specific genetic marker identifiers, the latter of which are increasing in availability for tumor diagnosis. The principal immunohistochemical methods enlisted in establishing a diagnosis of primary renal synovial sarcoma are summarized.
